Transfers from Business Schools
Students desiring to transfer to The University of Findlay from business schools accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) will follow the transfer credit policy of Findlay. Transfer courses will be evaluated by the Office of the Registrar. Subject to the result of course evaluation, transferred courses will be accepted on a conditional basis. The transfer student must successfully complete 30 semester hours of academic work with at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average, including eight semester hours in the major field, before credits will be accepted.
The student must submit an official transcript of completed work. The Office of the Registrar will evaluate all courses completed at the business school, with assistance from the appropriate college deans when needed, and then inform the prospective student of the courses that will be accepted at Findlay. The student and adviser will then determine the courses needed at Findlay to meet degree requirements. Courses of a remedial nature will not be accepted for transfer. The Office of the Registrar has final responsibility for determining acceptance of transfer credit.
Because considerable business school course work may have been completed at the time of transfer, the following guidelines apply:
No less than 18 semester hours of major course work must be successfully completed at Findlay. At least 15 hours must be at the 300400 level, and no more than two of these courses may be earned through proficiency examinations. Major requirements may be revised in some cases by the college dean where requirements would result in considerable repetition of work previously completed at the business school. Please review the University’s Transfer Credit Policy regarding transfer credit policies.
